    Dont mention Jamie bloody Oliver, and Alan Titchmarsh in the same thread @shiney .:biggrin:

    A couple of my worst hates, both a couple of big headed plonkers that tend to "crawl" very well.

    Sir Alan, and Sir Jamie.

            I don't work (early retired) and we're up at 5:30 for first dog walking, when I worked could always manage a hour or so at the plot early of a morning before heading off for work, and still avoid the traffic.

              1 - Jamie "I'm so cool and down wiv da kids" Oliver , makes everyone over 50 skin crawl.
              2- By coincidence was just down in this area - Horsley - a few weeks ago , my brother just moved there. As JWK above, what is the point off moving a traffic jam 1 mile down the M3. It is not solving the problem.
              3- Why is everyone saying "signed" ? Have a missed sumfink , as Jamie would say :snorky:

                        Signed. If Nurses can work shifts, then others getting golden pensions (government ) should too. If you're not a frontline worker, work a night shift or work from home! Shift work would also spread out power demands.

                            Just remembered this and thought I'd add a small update - the threat to Wisley is over. They rejected that particular plan although issues still remain over where the entrance will be located
